Union Pacific Corp. and Norfolk Southern Corp. are launching a new domestic intermodal service to deliver greater market reach and more efficient freight transportation options.
The railroads said the service leverages Union Pacific’s premier network to connect customers with key western and southern markets and Norfolk Southern’s modernized intermodal facilities in the Louisville area.
This joint service, expected to begin in mid-October, offers customers across industries — automotive, consumer goods, food and beverage, healthcare and manufacturing — truck-competitive transit times and expanded market reach.
This bi-directional service will originate and terminate in the Louisville market, interchanging between Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific in Kansas City. It will travel by rail to and from Los Angeles; Lathrop, California; Seattle; Portland, Oregon; Salt Lake City; and Houston.
